Keri & Will’s Downtown Raleigh Engagement

Keri and Will’s downtown Raleigh engagement session is one of my absolutely favorite photo shoots. I love love love this couple of lovebirds!

This session included some of my favorite things; cobble stone streets, a visit to a local brewery, and perfect iighting. Keri told me before the shoot that she didn’t think she was photogenic (Of course this turned out to not be true at all). This is my absolute favorite kind of client, because they are so easy to direct. I can also completely relate to these feelings because, real talk, I feel the same way. I’m completely comfortable behind the camera, but put me in front of the camera and all of a sudden I feel super awkward. I forget what I am supposed to do with my hands. I have found that the only way to get past this is for me to mentally confront these feelings and then embrace them. Once you are able to acknowledge that it is going to feel a bit uncomfortable at first you can start to embrace the awkwardness.

Keri is absolutely gorgeous, and Will is so obviously smitten with her! It is so much fun to work with two people with such obvious chemistry. They are completely at ease with each other, and their photos reflected that. They rocked their engagement session, and I can’t wait for their August wedding! I am so excited to share some of my favorite photos from this gorgeous downtown Raleigh engagement session!
